Celebrating World Environment Day during the pandemic! Now more than ever, World Environment Day (June 5) took on a global magnification. Focus on our health, on the health of our planet Earth took on an urgency and immediacy, too. And on this day, I order online (pay the bills) and request the vegan Earth Café to deliver to Deanne Panday, the gorgeous health and wellness coach and author of three bestselling books. The multi-talented expert is a toned and agile yoga maestro, weight training pro, too. Having qualified as a commercial artist, Deanne studied to be a health coach in New York and continues to study multiple courses internationally. At the foundation of her holistic approach to wellness is the gut. She’s a great believer in the plant-based diet.

THE VITAL RELEVANCE OF A VEGAN DIET

“The pandemic has shown how disastrous the consequences of ecosystem loss can be. By shrinking the area of natural habitat for animals, we have created ideal conditions for pathogens, including Chinese Corona Viruses, to spread,” Deanne points out. She believes that the fact remains that only with healthy ecosystems can we enhance people’s livelihoods, counteract climate change and stop the collapse of biodiversity. So, she chose Earth Café as it is a plant-based fully eco-friendly, organic cafe to celebrate World Environment Day.

The questions remain — Is Earth Cafe’s food delicious? Nutritious? Consistently good? Yes to all the above!

Earth Cafe @ Waterfield, Bandra West, Mumbai: Food

Earth Café serves dairy and gluten-free European fare. Topping the bestseller list is the velvety, silken smoothie Berry Love. Deanne’s favourite, too. Strawberries, raspberries and cranberries blended with coconut milk and made luscious with banana. Ask for the super healthy, sugar-free ‘Enriched’, walnuts, figs and dates blended with banana and coconut milk. The finest hass avocado on gluten-free bread, the protein-packed orange avocado quinoa (Protein Packed) salad as well as the spiced quinoa patty burger are recommended.

Ever had a quinoa and brown rice risotto? Check out this one deliciously tossed in a creamy mushroom white sauce. End with ‘Quinoa – Almond Rocks’, even Deanne who does not like desserts loves the crunch and bite of these sweet rocks.

Vegan Vows

Pretty as a peach, the charming Earth Café is a product of passion. Set up by the young Vicky Khatwani, hailing from a jewellery manufacturer family, this marathon runner is as passionate about vegan food as he is about taste and flavor. On return from a long state in the US, he set up Mumbai’s international vegan café. Through the pandemic, he has been providing meals to senior citizens. Ensures that his café continues to use the finest quality of ingredients. Any wonder Earth Café has been magnetising celebs from the Bollywood and music industry and even business tycoons. And our very own wellness diva, Deanne!
